【 摘 要 】

In the wide field of cognitive science, there are many works on consciousness. These studies can be roughly divided into two categories, i.e., the philosophical (especially the philosophy of mind) and the scientific (especially cognitive neuroscience). Neuroscientists have been searching for “neural correlates of consciousness” (NCCs, cf. Koch, 2012; Tononi and Koch, 2015), an approach that prioritizes the study of the correlation between specific brain activity and aspects of consciousness, while a philosophical approach always focuses on identifying explanatory links between neural mechanisms and consciousness.
